On The Beach by John Osborne:

John Osborne - writer/star of Edinburgh Fringe, West End and UK Tour sell-out show John Peel's Shed; writer/star of Radio 4 specials John Peel's Shed, The Newsagent's Window, Valentine's Day (co-starring Peep Show's Isy Suttie) performs his second solo show, On The Beach. Having spent the past twelve months visiting British seaside towns, John documents a lunchtime walk along one such beach: charting the lives, loves, hopes and nostalgie all found down on the beach.

The Islanders:

Amy Mason (novelist), Eddie Argos (lead singer of guitar band Art Brut, who've toured the world and had albums produced by Pixies' front man Black Francis) and Jim Moray (multi award-winning folk star) collaborate together in a Bristol Old Vic commission to perform The Islanders. In the late nineties, teenage couple Amy and Eddie fled their bedsit haven of damp walls, smashed furniture and only-orange foods for a holiday on the Isle of Wight. Thirteen years on, they try to make sense of an island, a holiday and a much-forgotten relationship. The Islanders is an indie musical about memories, first-loves and growing up.
